As the co-owner of a retail store I would (notice "would") have defined myself as a free market capitalist who thought "the market" was best left alone. Now I don't know what to think. Left to its own devices, the market swells with greedy bastards who invent ways to schtup people out of their money.<br />If they are "free marketers" then why did they latch onto the government bail out.<br />Best thing yet - who gets the bail out and who gets prison? <br />Obama vs Bush - IMHO is mostly a case of same shit, different wrapper when it comes to the whole bail out deal. Obama's finace guy is a mentor of Bush's finance guy and they all rub each others privates under the table. Donkeys and Elephants get us divided and fighting over social issues (abottion, immigration, etc) and in the meantime have their collective hands so deep in our wallets (and up our asses) that we can barely walk. Can't wait to see who engineers the most profit from carbon credits and socialized medicine. (as a self-employed someone who pays big bucks for health insurance that covers diddly, I know something needs to be done, but do not know what.)<br />Why did Goldman-Sachs live and Lehman Bros die? <br />Sorry for the rant - my head hurts when I think about this stuff too long.Big Red Dawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07630765957447774531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7504513509802533063.post-46366840979299131752009-02-26T18:07:00.000-08:002009-02-26T18:07:00.000-08:00Hello- Simple and to the point.
